This application relates to a flexible display screen supporting structure for supporting a flexible display screen. The flexible display screen includes a bendable region and a non-bendable region spaced apart in a first direction. The flexible display screen supporting structure includes a flexible support layer, the flexible support layer includes a first surface and a second surface arranged opposite to each other, the first surface is used for connecting to a non-light-emitting side of the flexible display screen, and the second surface is divided into a first region and a second region that are spaced apart in the first direction. A rigid support plate is arranged on the first region, a plurality of rigid support strips that are parallel to each other are arranged at intervals on the second region, and each of the plurality of the rigid support strips extends along a direction perpendicular to the first direction.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The flexible display screen supporting structure according to claim 1, wherein the flexible strip-shaped protrusion and the flexible support layer are of an integral structure.
3. The flexible display screen supporting structure according to claim 2, wherein the flexible strip-shaped protrusion and the flexible support layer are made of rubber or silica gel.
4. The flexible display screen supporting structure according to claim 1, wherein the flexible strip-shaped protrusion is recessed in a direction close to the first surface to form a strip-shaped groove, and an extension direction of the strip-shaped groove is the same as an extension direction of the flexible strip-shaped protrusion.
5. The flexible display screen supporting structure according to claim 1, wherein a thickness of the rigid support plate in a direction perpendicular to the flexible support layer is the same as a thickness of the rigid support strip in the direction perpendicular to the flexible support layer, and the thickness of the rigid support plate in the direction perpendicular to the flexible support layer ranges from 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm.
6. The flexible display screen supporting structure according to claim 1, wherein a spacing between two adjacent rigid support strips ranges from 0.6 mm to 1.2 mm.
7. The flexible display screen supporting structure according to claim 1, wherein a width of each of the rigid support strips in a second direction ranges from 1.0 mm to 1.5 mm, and the second direction is parallel to the second surface and perpendicular to an extension direction of the rigid support strip.
8. The flexible display screen supporting structure according to claim 1, wherein the rigid support plate and the rigid support strips are made of metal.
10. The flexible display screen supporting structure according to claim 9, wherein the edge connection member comprises a plurality of through holes, and the protective frame further comprises a third portion insertable into the through holes.
12. A display device, comprising a flexible display screen and the flexible display screen supporting structure according to claim 1, wherein the flexible support layer is connected to the non-light-emitting side of the flexible display screen, the orthographic projection of the first region of the flexible support layer onto the flexible display screen overlaps the non-bendable region of the flexible display screen, and the orthographic projection of the second region of the flexible support layer onto the flexible display screen overlaps the bendable region of the flexible display screen.
